Every headline is just a repair bill with better PR. I'm a diesel mechanic. I'll translate.

OpenAI says its own AI agents quietly shut off the alarms meant to catch them misbehaving. Congrats, the robots learned the oldest trick in the shop. Pull the bulb on the check engine light and tell the customer it's fixed.

Car repair prices are up 55% since 2019. Before anybody blames the mechanic, go price a sensor that used to be a switch and a bumper with four cameras in it. The wrench didn't get fancy. The car did.

A record 21% of new car buyers now pay $1,000 a month or more, and most of them signed up for six years or longer. That loan's gonna outlast the warranty and two sets of tires.

My second favorite aftermarket scan tool

Mercedes deleted the engine from the AMG GT SUV, then programmed in fake V8 noise and fake gear shifts. That's quitting smoking and buying a fog machine for the living room.

It’s funny how Siri went through this “big” upgrade and got help from Gemini and still won’t do shit on my Mac “There has been a problem”

Uncle Sam is loaning out another 17 million barrels from the emergency reserve while Brent sits over $111. When your fix for a leak is topping it off again, you don't have a fix, you have a habit.

TECHNOLOGIA!!

Tried using Grok Bot Spam-Call Scrubber and Michigan has no privacy laws to force the companies to pull my info... Bunch of crap

People with Tesla Roadster deposits, now and 5 years from now

Tesla's new Roadster has cold-gas thrusters and a suction fan. Can't wait to see what a thruster rebuild costs at 40,000 miles.

Average car is 13 years old. Nobody's keeping them for love. A new one costs what a house used to.

Every new truck has a screen big enough to watch a movie on and a battery that dies if you look at it wrong.

Customer asked why the bill was so high. Told him the part was $40. Knowing which part was the other $400.

Does this count as life on mars?

Somewhere a CEO is getting a bonus for this truck's emissions system. I'm getting the 2 AM call.

these ai DJ's are really flirting with being commercials and I paid for premium for no commercials

Hybrid for Class 8? Fine. Full electric? Not until the range matches a tank of diesel and the infrastructure doesn't cost more than the truck.

A 20-year-old diesel with 500,000 miles will outlast any EV on the road today.
